It is preferred that there is someone available to receive the purchase because the courier will need a signature upon delivery. If there is not anyone present upon delivery the courier will leave the package with a neighbor upon getting a signature, as well as leave a card at your delivery address. If it is not possible to get someone to sign for the delivery, the courier will return the package to the local depot and contact you to rearrange delivery. If this fails, the package will be returned to the Alter London facility and we will contact you to rearrange delivery. For larger items such as furniture, our courier will contact you in advance to arrange a suitable time when you are at the delivery location. Alter London delivers to your home, work or where it is most convenient for you.
